If you do not speak any 2nd or 3rd language, we suggest using Google Translate to convert to your only tongue. It's free.
OK, but I think it's a valid point that the posting would have been better to have been english. The whole point of this board is to let everyone know your complaint. If the complaint is in a language not understood by 99.999% of the readers, then most are going to skip it and move on.

Also, while he may have wanted to inconvenience the airline by writing the letter in French, why is he effectively doing the same here?

He can post in Swahili if he wants, but given the choice of A- use a translator or B- skip the post, it think most will choose B. Keep in mind too, that any of these programs are going to have a botch it up curve, so some of the details may or may not get lost in the translation.
